Release Notes:
limited to 500 copies - the second single from lord auch on
the young and lost club. taking their name from a pseudonym of
french essayist, and all round salacious scholar, georges
bataille; lord auch are simon mccabe (vocals / bass), danny
prescott (drums), and guitarist liam w. originally, stalwarts
of leeds burgeoning band scene, simon and danny were members
of art-rock cult-heroes blackwire, though, as many good things
do, the band came to a natural end in 2006. a night of debate,
debauchery and jack daniels ensued and saw the duo find a like
minded third, in the shape of ex-courtney love guitarist liam
w in september 2007. now a trio, the three readily embarked
upon their quest to make and master what has been dubbed
'paranoid pop'; a combination of fifties rock'n'roll with a
twist of folk and a healthy dose of euphoric, resonant gloom
added for good measure. taking influence and inspiration from
the work of nick cave, the birthday party, johnny cash and
scott walker alike, something wonderfully macabre in landscape
and melodic in rhythm and texture began to emerge. which
brings us to the appearance of the marvellous second single
'mareado'. it's a dark monster of a track, driven by the
bassline and drums - it sounds like dave vanian from the
damned fronting the rocky horror picture.
